Nymphomania. I'm a nymphomaniac - what should I do?

Nymphomania is a state of increased sexual excitability, characterized by a very high sexual attraction in women. Therefore, it can be said that a nymphomaniac is a woman suffering from excessive physical sexuality.


If a woman likes to have sex or even adores this activity, this does not mean that she can be called a nymphomaniac. Normal women are quite easily able to control their sexual desire, which manifests itself only in certain situations, and, as a rule, when there is a number of people who are able to cause these feelings in a girl. Nymphomaniac is not able to harness and control his sexuality. This feeling manifests itself regardless of the woman's desires, it is like thirst or hunger, which is also difficult to control consciously. Such a woman is governed by a hypersexual attraction and unlike normal women who just love sex, nymphomaniacs are not able to keep and suppress their sexual desires for the time of any other activity, for example, during housekeeping or office work, or , when she has a permanent partner. Even when she is in a stable relationship, such a woman can easily have sex with outsiders. After all, regular sexual relations for her - not just a pleasant pastime, but an urgent need, just like people suffering from obsessive disorders, are constantly seeking to wash their hands.

How to distinguish normal sexual desires from nymphomania?
To understand whether a woman who loves sex is normal, or if she is a nymphomaniac, it is quite easy. A woman who does not suffer from nymphomania can consciously control her sexual manifestations. So, she can calmly survive forced pauses in sex for several days, weeks, or even months, for example, when her constant sexual partner leaves on a business trip or can not satisfy her for medical reasons. A normal woman in the sex plan will not want to make love several times a day, especially if the sexual relationship with a man is not at the very beginning of their development and lasts for several months. She will not much want to have sex in the morning, if the sexual act was already the previous night.

Nymphomaniac is simply physically unable to create a strong family union - with rare exceptions, in cases where a partner of such a woman is willing to unconditionally fulfill all her insatiable sexual desires. The main purpose of her life is to seek sexual relaxation and satisfaction, but she can not be fully satisfied with it for a long time. Naturally, such behavior can not but affect all aspects of the life of the nymphomaniac. In her personal life, such a woman, as a rule, is unhappy. After all, it can not build deep relationships, its connections are always rather superficial, sexual partners change quickly, gradually becoming completely impersonal. Such illegibility in sexual relations can negatively affect the woman's health: starting from the viral infections, which are transmitted sexually and ending with physical exhaustion and problems with the psyche.

Is it true that almost all pornoctirs are nymphomaniacs?
No, it's not like that at all. The porn industry creates the appearance of viewers that pornstars are all fanatics of sex and are ready to deal with them day and night, unable to control their sexual desires. In fact, the vast majority of pornographic actresses simply depict lust and desire just like the actresses of ordinary cinema play such emotions as joy, anger, sadness or fear. It is possible that a certain percentage of nymphomaniacs also appear in adult films, in order to somehow satisfy their unbridled passion. But still most porn actresses are not nymphomaniacs. After all, hypersexual women often have an unstable nervous system and it is psychologically difficult for them to withstand a lengthy shooting process. After all, while working in front of the camera you need to think not about satisfying your own desires, but about satisfying your audience's interest.

Why do women become nympho?
Often, nymphomania occurs in women who have been diagnosed with "bipolar affective disorder," which is characterized by a depressive and manic state. In such patients, this condition can cause hypertrophic sexual desire. Also, the causes of nymphomania can be injuries and brain contusions, schizophrenia, Gick's disease, Alzheimer's disease and several other similar diseases. The use of certain medications can also be an impetus to the manifestation of nymphomania in women. So, this effect can give the reception of some drugs that are used to treat Parkinson's disease, as well as some narcotic substances, for example, metadiamphetamine - in these cases nymphomania manifests as a side effect and is easily cured when drugs are withdrawn.

Scientists believe that approximately 1-2% of all women to varying degrees in different periods of their lives suffered from hypersexual behavior. But most of these examples are the so-called transition nymphomania, which lasts a short time and then passes almost without a trace.

Also among scientists there is an opinion that nymphomania can be associated with some peculiarities of children's upbringing. So, often psychiatrists who had to work with hypersexual women noticed that in families where nymphomaniacs were brought up, it was not uncommon for the topic of sex to be strictly forbidden. Thus, the girls' psyche was traumatized and distorted.

Another cause of nymphomania can be traumatic situations (not necessarily of a sexual nature), usually experienced in childhood. And also a long stay in uncomfortable and cramped circumstances. However, such situations are rare and account for 2-3% of all cases of nymphomania.

How to deal with nymphomania?
First of all, female nymphomaniacs and their relatives should understand that hypersexuality is not a promiscuity of behavior, but a serious illness, in the event of signs of which it is necessary to turn to the doctor and begin treatment. Often women with hypertrophic sexual excitability consider this behavior to be simply part of their nature, but if such uncontrolled sexual arousal causes significant inconveniences and affects all areas of a person's life, then one should seek medical treatment from a specialist.

Special pills that would quickly and easily cure nymphomania, to date, science has not yet been invented. There are not even uniform methods and approaches to the treatment of this disease. Typically, doctors use mixed methods - psychiatry and treatment with drugs that help suppress excessive sexual excitability (for example, some antidepressants). It also applies treatment with the help of group psychotherapy and individual conversations with couples in which a woman suffers from nymphomania.
